Sure Rihanna was everywhere this yeas as she should be and guess what Britney despite the VMA's has a great album but it is the return of Kylie Minogue that has her fans in an uproar. It started at Cannes when pal Sharon Stone introduced and made Kylie give an inpromptu concert of guess what else the Loco Motion...now that was fab.

Kylie is back in a huge way with her tenth studio album X and the new single '2 Hearts' gives her a rocking good start. If you aren't a fan Kylie was as australian soap star but in 1987 it was her cover of Little Eva's the Locomotion that led to a recording career and that to was inpromptu as she was at a benefit in England.

She went on to record hit after hit 'Confide In Me' 'I Should Be So Lucky' 'Turn It Into love' 'Light Years' and I could go on for a very long time.

She has been compared to Madonna over and over again but that's why I am writing this.

Every move Madonna though great has been as calculated as Macy's and Madison Ave meaning she is pure ad campaign; directed at grabbing your attention.

She is not sincere in her actions and who wants to keep paying 500.00 to see her perform? Some may but I chose to just go to I Tunes and get her concerts for 8.99.

Kylie on the other hand she knows why she is here; why she is still here. Because of her fans. She never stops smiling.

She has beaten cancer, a hard break up with actor Oliver Martinez who by the way all she could do was make sure that the Foreign Press stopped dogging him out.

She has not scored the American success that she so rightly deserves but she has pockets of legions of adoring fans that will and have traveled to see her perform hit after hit. She didn't feel the need to come and conquer America; she knows that she is loved and forever will be.

Here is to you Kylie a great mentor to the Hilary Duffs of the world; as there is nothing wrong with a pop record as it is the one thing that is remembered, loved and loathed at the same time and in America that is all the press that you need.

Here's to X (ten more) albums.
